There are two types of pop-up. Messenger (not MSN
Messenger)and Web pop-ups.
You can get a pop-up stopper if you want, or you can
disable the messenger service (Control Panel, Admin tools,
Services) to stop the Messenger pop-ups and in I.E. you
can disable Active & Java scripting (Tools, Internet
Options, Security Tab, Custom button, Under the Scripting
section select the Disable radio buttons for Active
scriping & Scripting of Java applets) to disable Web Pop-
Ups.
